RUBIACEAE 
MYCETIA Blume 
MYCETIA CORIACEA (Dunn) comb. nov. 
Adenosacme coriacea Dunn in Kew Bull. Add. Series 10 (1912) 130 
(FI. Hongkong & Kwangtung). 
Kwangtung Province, Loh Fau Mountain (Lofaushan), Merrill 10386, 
10867, Levine 597, H90, November, 1916 and August, 1917, a character- 
istic undershrub along small streams, in thickets, altitude 900 to 1,100 
meters. The specimens agree with Dunn’s authentic material in the 
Hongkong Herbarium, but I have adopted the generic designation My- 
cetia in place of Adenosacme, as the former is the older name.
